The author shows that the approach of Maqasid al-Syari'ah is an approach in finding Islamic law by integrating between texts and contexts, texts and intellect. Some instruments in Maqasid al-Syari’ah approach used as epistemology of health fiqh are Istihsan (Judicial Preference), Fath al-Dzara'i' (Opening the means), 'Urf (Customs), and Istihsab (Pre-assumption of Continuity).indWith permission of the license/copyright holderMedical JurisprudenceMaqasid Al-Syari'ahContextualizationReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsPhilosophical ethicsBioethicsMedical ethicsJournal volume
